Fitting an insulated subfloor & sound deadening (ZIP System Sheathing) | Ram ProMaster Van Build Ep4
While we did everything correctly when fitting our subfloor, we made a crucial mistake which has left us with an uneven subfloor in our van build.
Even though our floor has a bit of unevenness, we are super happy with picking to ZIP System sheathing for our vans subfloor. Picking proper insulation for our van build was key because we plan to travel full time in many different seasons.
Everything we used for this project:
Sound deadening amzn.to/3z9tSo0
Jigsaw amzn.to/3z7Wtdc
Liquid nails for foam and metal amzn.to/3z7EKTe
Gorilla Glue for wood to metal amzn.to/3RydIKW

San Antonio the culinary capital of texas? Damn they're doomed then. The Spanish food is okay but the rest is nothing to write home about
For a great puffy taco, go to Oscar's Taco House. The chicken puffy is my favorite. Ray's is great too.
Thank you â€
Great video guys, the Machete is mainly common because working people that leave in the country use them everyday, working in the field , making way on paths with overgrown vegetation, opening up a coconut etc⊠it is something that every working man or woman will carry , so it is super common.
That is what our guide explained to us as well! Itâs interesting to see it being such a common tool for locals in the area
So sorry that you had to go through that , you have them on video, it looks like they do that all the time. Take the video to police, Politour is the tourist police and the should be able to deal with those individuals since they seem to hang out at the same place
I live in S.A I am so hapy yall found some historic places and paid respect, Especially you experienened our food. Now you know why we are so fat! Im glad you came. We love yall. XO
We loved the food too đ
Outstanding Video. Hope To Go To San Antonio In The Future. Thank Youđđ
nice Video , thanks guys
Think you mean yuan...
When we learned Chinese while living in China, we were told that kuai is the more casual term for yuan when speaking. This is why we use it instead of yuan.
kuai is more like dollar. 1 dollar, 2 dollar something like that
â@JamesandKeli my teacher said it's Yuan or RMB (Renminbi) I never heard anyone say kuai (not that it doesn't exist) but maybe do some more research on it because it's mostly known as Yuan or RMB
With the high level of sugar in the guys voice, i'm going to recommend getting your hormones checked, sir.
Get some of those levelers and drive it onto them when you park. Waalaa. Floor is even.

I wouldn't trust anything in China

The most terrible thing is that in addition to the Nanking Massacre, there were many other massacres committed by the Japanese in China, not just in 1937, but since 1895, when the Japanese first landed on Lvshun, and the massacres were not just a coincidence.
While we were in China, we tried to learn a lot about Chinas history. It is all very sad đ
How did u guys get tickets for the cable car up ? Thanks for the informative video!!
We purchased the cable car at the main entrance.
As a local thank yâall guys for showing love to my city. A place I do recommend is Rolandoâs taco House in the south side. They are knowing to have the biggest tacos đź. literally as big from your wrist to your elbow try there asada taco all you need is one taco. But they are only open like 4 hrs a day.
We will have to try this!!
I did my sound deadening a little different, I did the entire floor and 50%+ of the surfaces, and it sounds almost silent from road noise and sounds like a solid steel wall now.
Nice!
One a money pit you should stay in china buy a new condo beach front in huizhou silver coast for 25,000 USD.
So the opposite side what are they thinking if they see another land ..
I can see Chicago from 65 miles away on the Michigan coast. Its because we live on a plane.
Yes, a large number of human beings can be great when they are all civilized and controllable. And even better when uncontrollable and unprofitable people are removed. Please help anyone, Allow more of anyone to come into your home land to live.

Nice work, thanks for sharing the tip on overloading with sound deadening and the floor mishap and eventual solution, I would have leaned towards mechanical anchoring as well and perhaps that might help if weighing it down with cabinetry doesn't. Solid underfoot is a good feeling and a moral boost so worth any extra effort in my book. Some feedback on the video editing, while overall this episode is fun and easy to follow also well polished, a minor thing I noticed is I found the time line a little hard to follow, at points in the beginning of this episode, I get the impression the post production editing is pulling from various points in the timeline and I found that a little disorientating in some places. To help me with this and because I am a top down thinker, what would help is an overview of the process and timeline, perhaps a walk through of the plan would be a good segment in an upcoming episode and help to signpost the key milestones in this journey. Ok a technical how to question. what about moisture? How do you manage humidity levels and condensation that forms between the inside of the van walls and the insulation that could lead to mold and corrosion, in a house there is a breathable membrane that equalises humidity but as your in a sealed metal cylinder I would be interested to know you plan to manage the internal weather and water cycle (evaporation, condensation, transpiration, precipitation). Also I was a little surprised you didn't paint the inside of the van, particularly the floor where the metal was exposed from wear, is corrosion of these exposed metal segments, hidden under the floor, a concern? I hope that doesn't sound too negative, I did enjoy the episode, it was fun and I am looking forward to the next one :)
We will try and answer all of the questions! The flooring doesn't feel too uneven as we walk, it is just more 'aesthetic' and if I look down I will notice it. Since it is such a small spot whereas the rest of the floor is flat, we don't think we will worry too much until the very end. Thank you for the advice on the video editing! So many projects are happening in our build all at one time that we are constantly having to stop one project to work on another. We totally get having things in order (I am also wanting to keep with one task at a time, it is just so hard to do within this small van build). About the humidity/mold concern, this is a big one for us as well. We have insulation that is water wicking and mold resistant. We read online that the best offense for condensation is good airflow. With our windows and fans we hope to keep it under control. We didn't paint the bottom of the van because there was no exposed bare metal on the floor, only the primer. We did cover any places that had exposed metal from prior damages, but nothing concerned us on the floor.
@@JamesandKeli Nice update, thank you for the good answers to all my questions :) I recognise the propensity to get in and get it done and taking the extra time to setup for a camera shoot, when working across multiple tasks, would be bridge to far for me at the best of times. I think you guys are doing great and I am sure success will come your way in many forms.
Who knows for sure?
Even though our floor is uneven, it doesn't make a huge difference in our van build. We aren't too worried about any damage underneath our flooring, it is really just a style preference. The gap filler worked for about a few months, but it has slowly stopped working from constant traffic. We are hoping that with all of our cabinetry we put into our build, it will weigh it down, and be a lot less of a problem.
It's one of the "false" cities
I was thinking the same thing
I am buddhist from india namo Buddha
I purchased ExpressVPN before entering China, but it turned out to be not working at all. It was March 2024.
3:22 Microsoft's Translator app works surprisingly well too.
Beautiful!
Oscars taco house is the place for the best puffy tacos
What apps do u use for renting an apartment in China?
We personally donât use apps for renting because they are all Chinese and some require a Chinese National ID. We would go through local agents who help us.. however it does require an agent fee.
@@JamesandKeli thank you for the information đ
Why foreigners went lijiang contacted Tom, because the guy organized people went gorge 15 years for everyday and they loved October inn hostel:
Only October inn organized tourist went tiger leaping gorge for everyday and help guests booked the tickets of bus and let driver bring them huge luggage to middle gorge.
Dammit! i'm hungry now!!
Youâll have to go and try some of these places!
of course the male has a ball đ€Łđ€Łđ
Another way to determine the gender is the placement. Male on the left, female on the right (the objectâs pov)
We didnât know that! But it does make sense now that we think about it.
Do yourself a favor and save yourself the headache,fly with another airline
Very cool I didnât know they had that difference
Itâs such a cool fact right!
Very nice and informative video. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for watching đ
Those 'spirals' on his head is not Afro hairstyle whorls, but are SNAILS. While the Buddha was meditating in the blazing sun, snails crawled over his head to protect him from burning.
Looks really yummy especially the dumplingsâ€
They were!! đ€€
Lots of places are overrated, unfortunately.
Your travel tips are spot on! For anyone struggling with foreign languages, the Immersive Translate plugin is a fantastic solution.
Two man-make ancient mega undertaking by the amazing Chinese, the Grand Canal and The Great Walls had me sucked into her history deeply. It is too overwhelming and kept me wanting to feel and know more. No wonder China is still China today, ever hardworking and innovative for better living. Salute.
Great to see the excitement, thank you for sharing your approach to this challenge that you have set yourselves. Its not an easy path your on and I love seeing the unscripted moments of spontaneous joy your labours are bringing you. The authentic emotional growth is entertaining and touching to watch. I love the team work and chemistry between you guys as well as your combined commitment to a common goal. I look forward to seeing where this adventure leads.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. That is really sweet of you đ„č
that is a taco salad lol
We were very confused because that was not what we ordered đ
It's a SCAM!!!
There are never any flights anywhere with this pass. It's a scam. I'm searching for an attorney now willing to start a class action against frontier. I search often for flights.
Let me know I will join the lawsuit
Class action lawsuits another scam where the lawyers get thousands and plain tiffs get a check for $20đ
